Yep. It's true. A lot of Alaska is kept comparatively "warm" by those off shore breezes. A lot of the North slope gets it straight off the Polar ice though.

Same thing with some of the Northern areas of MN. Nothing between Brainard or International Falls and the North Pole but a stray Polar Bear.

That’s kinda what I figured. Too cold for me!

My mother first lived in Sitka, then Kodiak, then Juneau and I think she even lived in Fairbanks. I’ll have to ask one of my older sibs I was too cute and little to remember all the stories!
